Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 70
The neighbors began whispering among themselves, wondering who these people could be.Meanwhile, Mr. Hay froze up as soon as he saw these vans. “Hey! Let this boy go! Let him go right now! They're here!”Max was in a pretty bad shape by the time those hefty-looking men released him. Still, he summoned enough energy to get up and check on his mother.Kendra teared up weakly as she held her son's battered face. Meanwhile, Mr. Hay had changed his demeanor as those vans opened up and many men walked out with guns in their hands.The neighbors quickly became scared, and within a minute, everyone scattered and rushed back into their house. No one wanted to mess with these newcomers.There are currently over thirty men who came out of these vans. They looked more threatening than the hefty-looking men around Mr. Hay.Max's attention was inevitably drawn to these people, and he saw as these scary men opened the jeep and a muscular middle-aged man walked out in a fitting suit and sunglasses.

Brody immediately nodded his head. “I swear on my family's grave that it's him.” He pointed straight at Max. “This bastard was pulled in by his friend to become spies for the Feudal Gang.”“Wait, what?!” Max was lost at first when he heard this brief conversation between the muscular newcomer and Brody. But then it quickly hit him and his eyes widened in shock.“Spy?! What spy?!” Max turned his attention to the terrifying muscular man. “Sir, don't believe him! I'm just a….” He didn't get to finish his words.“Shut the fuck up!” Brody gritted his teeth as he delivered a brutal kick to Brody's chest, sending him straight to the ground. “Maximus!” Kendra yelled out weakly as she couldn't even get up properly to check up on her son. She was still in a lot of pain following the kick to the chest she had received from Mr. Hay.“Max!” Gina screamed at the top of her lungs at the sight of her brother being kicked in the chest as well. Still, she was still holding her mother's head on her lap

Max's little sister, Gina, quickly got on her knees while pleading with her palms pressed together. “Please, let my brother go! I'm begging you! He's really not the spy you're looking for! Whatever you think he did, I promise that you've got the wrong person!”While mother and daughter are trying their best to get past those armed men holding them back, the lanky uncle, Jeremiah, has become sober after witnessing his nephew be brutally beaten up. Still, he remained huddled in the corner he was put in, not willing to risk being beaten up as well.Getting pissed by the distraction, Jude has his men take all three family members to another room and lick them up there. He couldn't hear the yelling and thrashing.After being kicked in the only toilet in the entire building, Gina and her mother kept trying to break out. Jeremiah, though, remained as unbothered to join as ever.“Uncle!” Gina took notice of this. “Uncle, don't just sit there. Are you just gonna sit there and let them beat my

Max still couldn't see completely as his face was still blurry with blood. Still, he quickly pulled out his phone, with the screen now cracked.“Forgive me.” He whispered with a broken voice as he called Benjamin's number.“Put it on loudspeaker mode,” Jude said as he saw Max place the phone on his ear.The phone rang for a couple of seconds before the call was then answered.“Max, what's up?! Have you gone to see your dad yet?” Benjamin's calm voice came through. “I confirmed that he has been transferred to Health-Bind Hospital. He's doing better now, right?”Max shut his eyes for a moment to steady his voice. “Um, yeah. Yeah, I….uh, I saw him yesterday. He's doing good.”There was a few seconds of silence before Benjamin spoke again. “Alright, that's good to hear.” Judging by his voice, it seems he didn't detect anything suspicious. “Bro, sorry that I haven't called after that night at the restaurant. It's just that I've been busy. You're doing good though, right?”Jude was tired of

Benjamin could tell that his best friend was in some sort of danger during the call. It wasn't because Max sent some secret code or anything. It was rather the tone he spoke with.At the time of the call, Benjamin had wrapped up his meeting with the CEO of Cortex Tech, Jonny Biggs. He ended this meeting with so much knowledge of what the AI assistant, Andy, is all about. Benjamin then had lunch with his grandfather and grandmother, still a bit in shock as he watched Hunter shower Theresa with praises from time to time. Once lunch was over, Benjamin and Theresa were ready to leave the prime estate and return to Sunspot Estate. The next day was a weekday and Benjamin had classes on Monday.Herbert didn't let Benjamin leave without bringing up an important matter. “Young Master Benjamin, I've been informed by Miss Locks of your residence. She reported that your means of transportation are still very limited.”Hunter tilted his head once he heard these words. “Herbert, don't tell me tha

Benjamin watched his grandfather head back to his office before he then turned to Theresa. “Grandma, you need to head home too. I'll have Anthony drive you home, okay?”“No, young master!” Anthony suddenly rushed forward before bowing slightly to Benjamin. “Young Master, I want to be the one to transport you there. I want to accompany you!”Herbert's expression turned cold. “Know your place! You are to do only what the young master has ordered you to do! You were not transferred to question him!”“Head Butler, it's fine.” Benjamin quickly stopped the older man from verbally trashing his driver. “Anthony is simply worried about me.”“I can secure young master's safety!” Anthony summoned enough courage to gaze up at Herbert with a determined expression. “No matter how dangerous this mission is, I'll make sure Young Master Benjamin isn't hurt in the slightest, even if it leads to my death.”“Don't say that!” Theresa gently slapped on the driver's shoulder, unwilling to hear that last par

“Yes, Sir. Um…. Master, about that matter.” Herbert suddenly became hesitant.“Yes?” Hunter finally shifted his gaze from his documents, and straight at his head butler. “Did you do what I ordered?”Herbert nodded his head. “Of course, Master. I talked to Young Master Benjamin about his parents, including where they are buried in this estate. I offered to take him there, so he could pay his respects to them, but…. Young Master Benjamin refused to see either of his parent’s graves.” Hunter saw the dejected expression on his head butler's face. “I see.” He couldn't help the pain that reached his heart. “I'm certain both Dallas and Caroline would be….sad that their son refuses to go greet them.”“I’m sorry, Master Hunter.” Herbert shook his head. “It's just that….Young Master seemed unbothered. There seemed to be no trace of love in there.”Hunter scoffed lightly. “Love for who? Those two were not even alive to raise him. Only the heavens know what would have seriously become him if Mrs
Benjamin Knox's Rise to Riches Chapter 77
Benjamin had arrived in front of the Detroit family's house alone. Immediately, he and Anthony stepped out of the car; those of Jude's men who had been ordered to stay outside turned to this newcomer.“Who the fuck are you?!” One of Jude's men asked with a threatening voice as he and his men walked towards this young man.Benjamin kept his gaze on the entrance to the Detroit's family home and he began taking slow steps forward.A second later, all of Jude's men situated here, numbering about fifteen of them, pointed their guns straight at Benjamin with gold gazes. Their movements were quite sharp.“Are you fucking deaf or something?!” The armed gang member asked once again. “What is your business here?!”Benjamin finally glanced at this gang member. “Didn't your boss make your friend call me here?”The gang member who seemed to be leading the others finally realised who Benjamin was. “Oh, you're the bastard our boss has been waiting for?” This gang member in charge of the rest glance

“April, let her in.”April did not expect that Benjamin would say these words with such a calm demeanor. She wanted to ask if Benjamin was sure but he quickly reminded herself that this was Benjamin Knox, an incredibly smart man. He didn't even see the person standing outside yet he could tell that it was a female.This meant one thing: Benjamin knew who was coming and he must consider them harmless.Therefore, April allowed Olivia Hearts into her new home.The first thing the two heard was a whistle tone of awe before Olivia appeared past the corridor.“Oh my goodness! This place is amazing!” Olivia glanced around the penthouse before stopping in front of April with a calm smile.“I'm really jealous of you.”She then whispered into April's war.“I wish Benjamin had made me his fake girlfriend instead. I would have definitely drugged him right here and now. Then I would gladly fuck him as much as I desire…..which would be all night long. I mean, look at the package hidden beneath tho

“Benjamin is…..is this for me?!” April was left in utter shock as he looked at the penthouse Benjamin had gotten for her.She turned to him with wide eyes and mouth agar.“Tell me you're joking before I really start to take all these in.”Benjamin shook his head with an easy smile. “I'm not joking with you, April. This penthouse really is yours.”“But why?” April was confused. “Why are you giving me such an expensive gift? Though I agreed that we should be in a relationship, we are both aware that it's….fake, for my protection. You don't have to give me such a gift.”After agreeing to become a fake couple, April returned to the apartment that Principal Dice had lent her. But then she was surprised to find Benjamin waiting in front of the apartment building early the next day.She wondered out loud how Benjamin had figured out where she was hiding out and Benjamin easily let her know that it was Principal Dice himself who entrusted him with the location.Then Benjamin urged April to ge

“Not any more. Something very important just came up. I'm sorry, but I've gotta attend to it right now.”Alexa couldn't believe what she was hearing. More so, she could tell that something was off with the way her boyfriend was acting.Before she knew, the car reached the nearest bus stop and Andrew remotely opened the door on Alexa's side.“You can leave. I'll call you tonight, okay?”“No!” Alexa stared down at Andrew before spreading forth her left palm. “Hand me your phone. I want to see who sent you a text message just now.”“Alexa, what are you saying?” Andrew was definitely caught off guard by the request.Exactly what you just heard. Hand me your phone! I want to see who sent you that text message!”Alexa reached out to take the phone but Andrew suddenly grabbed onto her wrist, fighting it within a pressuring grip.“Alexa, behave. Have you lost your mind?!”Alexa winced at the pain shooting through her wrist.“Ouch! Babe, let go of my hand! You're hurting me!”Andrew glared dar

“Hello, this is August Dice speaking. How may I help you?” Principal Dice tried to hide the nervousness in his voice.“Principal Dice, this is Herbert, the Head Butler of the Whiteridge family's Prime Estate. I'm calling you on behalf of my Master, Hunter Whiteridge.”Principal Dice felt a bit surprised by this. He didn't expect that the call was an order directly from the Whiteridge family's patriarch.“Head Butler Herbert, how may I be of service to you?”Herbert went straight to the point. “Principal Dice, my master instructs me to pass on some word of advice…… or caution. You can call it whatever you want.”Principal Dice could immediately tell that this had to do with what had transpired in his office with Andrew Tyrone, Angela, and Professor Blanca.He cleared his throat. “I'm listening, Sir.”Herbert sounded as calm as ever.“Keep a low-key profile from now on, especially with the Tyrone family. We are very aware of Simon's new position within the endorsers organization. We p

Professor Blanca smirked coldly. “Principal, don't think too hard. I'm worried that your aging brain circuit might shorten out from thinking too much.”Seeing the angry state her words had left the old man in, Professor Blanca pushed further.“Look, you simply didn't get any notification about Mr. Tyrone's new status because he ordered that you not be notified.” Principal Dice didn't know what to say to this. He knew that this was a possibility from Andrew's father. But still….“And why would Mr. Tyrone keep me out of the loop on things like this?” He glared up at the woman who came bearing the heavy news Professor Blanca boldly stared with disdain.“Oh, come now, old man. Are you seriously telling me that you don't know your offenses?”She rubbed soothing hands over Andrew's shoulders. “Your ability to protect Mr. Tyrone’s beloved son has begun to irritate him deeply. His orders to keep you out of the loop of information is to send you a definitive warning.”Principal Dice let out

After the humiliating encounter with Olivia Hearts, April Scott, and, most annoyingly, Benjamin Knox, Alexa was not in the mood to entertain another interaction where someone would berate her for all the terrible things that had come to light.Yet, there was nothing she could do as she was summoned to Principal Dice's office, right along with her boyfriend, Andrew.“Miss Dove, I have to say that your actions are a blatant disregard and disrespect to the pillars of the laws that hold up this university. You bullied two of your fellows into doing your dirty work. Then you tried to physically and psychologically destroy one of them.”“And so what?!” Alexa let out in anger all of a sudden.“Those two ladies aren't shit! They're a bunch of tools I had access to, and I simply used them!”Andrew did not like the words coming out of his girlfriend's mouth so he quickly placed a firm grip on Alexa's hand, silently telling her to shut up.It was too late though. The words were already out.“Wha

She kept staring at Benjamin’s back, trying hard to tell herself that this was an illusion. Was Benjamin really serious?Back when she had decided to confess everything, BenJamin never gave any hint that he would protect her from the consequences. It left the girl wondering if Benjamin had always had this intention or if it was just something that occurred in the heart of the moment.Ever since the incident that made them cross paths more than a decade ago, April had always kept an eye on Benjamin for the longest time.Through those times, she always felt like there was no way a strong young man like that would ever want to be associated with a pushover like her.Therefore, she kept her distance.Now, things unfolded in the most mysterious way, and April can't help but think that her unfortunate encounter with Alexa was nothing but a blessing in disguise.April had gotten so lost in her head that she didn't realize that Benjamin had taken her up to the rooftop of the faculty buildin

The crowd snickered as these students failed to hold in their laughter. They could still remember the way he was beaten up the last time.Andre felt humiliated but he knew better than to show he was affected by Benjamin’s intentional insult. It would only make him look more like a loser.“How about a flex of our wealth. There's a charity case that my The Tyrone Conglomerate is hosting. I can ask my father to host a much humbler version on campus.”Benjamin frowned slightly. “And you want you and I to donate as much as we can?”Andrew grinned innocently.“Yes. There are usually many charity cases presented at such events. After all, we all know how big this city is. There are too many poverty-stricken fellows out there.”Benjamin didn't like the way Andrew was talking about the lower-class citizen, but he immediately curved his own reaction with flinching in the slightest. He could tell that Andrew was baiting him, trying to get revenge for the humiliation he suffered just minutes ago

Andrew, who was smirking the whole time at the drama unfolding before his very eyes, turned angry at those words directed at him.“Girl, I'm sure you must be talking about another family.”April scoffed. “Whatever floats your boat.” Andrew's anger became uncontainable.“Is this you making a death wish? If that's the case, then he prepared to get what you want.”April smirked. “I'm not scared of you.”Andrew's face showed his confusion.“And why not?”Before April could say anything, an attractive masculine voice pulled everyone's attention and a part of the crowd made way for the owner of this voice to walk through.“Because she has me from now on.”It was none other than Benjamin Knox.The crowd began gossiping.“Wait! April is with Benjamin? Since when?”“Babe, I don't think he meant it in a romantic way, but more like April has his protection.”“I'm curious though; why is he protecting April? The lady was one of the people who made the false accusations about him.”“But then she w
